Mount Gambier Real Estate Market Outlook
In Mount Gambier there has been a history of lower than average prices and demand, offering opportunities for investors or first home owners, especially in the context of the growth in working from home. In this area of average incomes, there is a mix of housing size and quality. While this may present buying opportunities, growth may be constrained. As buyers begin to examine Mount Gambier due to other areas being out of the price range and the trend to working from home, "gentrification" may incease price growth. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Mount Gambier provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Medium density in Mount Gambier necessitates a mix of lifestyle options for housing, shops, open areas, and facilties. Where this is available, demand is high and growth ensured. Higher than average industry presence in the wider area offering local employment yet with not a large negative impact on local amenity, provides good demand and price growth.
Mount Gambier is a sizeable city on the slopes of the eponymous dormant volcanic mountain of Mount Gambier, South Australia. Known for its volcanic and limestone features and Blue Lake, a large lake within a volcanic crater. The land was originally inhabited by the Bungandidj aboriginal people, and first saw European settlement in 1842 by the Henty brothers. A post office opened in 1846, with the locality being known at the time as ‘Gambierton’ but reverting to the name of Mount Gambier by 1878. The town officially became a city over 100 years later in 1954. Today, it is a significant centre for tourism in South Australia and the second most populous city in the state.
Historically, Mount Gambier’s economy was primarily comprised of the mining and agriculture sectors, however in recent years it has significantly diversified and much of the economy is now rooted in tourism, with Mount Gambier acting as a major accommodation gateway to the surrounding region, as well as being a beautiful location worthy of tourism in and of itself. Full of breath-taking geographical features and with excellent public amenities, Mount Gambier is an excellent place to own property.
